Susan Rene' Wallace's Obituary
Susan Rene' Wallace was born on July 10,1968, in Longview, Texas, and passed away on April 21, 2025. As a native of Longview, she grew up in and graduated from Spring Hill Schools. She then received an education degree from Stephen F Austin State University. Susan began her teaching and coaching career in Tyler, then moving to Carrollton- Farmers Branch ISD. The highlight of her career was her years teaching and coaching at Staley Middle School in Frisco. During Susan’s time in Frisco, she became active with the Frisco Citizen’s Fire Academy and the American Cancer Society. She volunteered her time to start Relay For Life in Frisco and raised over $200,000 for cancer research.
Susan returned to Longview for family and had her children, Rylee and Reid— the true loves of her life. She became a stay-at-home mother and focused on her home and family. She loved coaching and teaching the kids throughout their childhood. It didn’t matter if it was in the backyard or on an organized team, she loved both.
To Susan, summer was her favorite time of year. And… It meant enjoying long days at Lake Cherokee, her happy place on Earth. Rather it be with her kids, extended family or girlfriends, she was happiest on the boat and enjoying summers at the lake.
She is preceded in death by her parents, Bob and Shirley Wallace. Susan is survived by her children Rylee and Reid Noon, and her significant other, Shad Column. She is also survived by sister Cindy Wallace Sullivan and husband Marty; brother Glenn Wallace and wife, Amanda; nephews Zach Terry, Jackson Wallace, Grant Wallace, Lake Wallace, Marty Sullivan Jr and Colt Wallace and niece Jessie Sullivan
